ILIGAN City — Police have started digging deeper into the killing of an officer in a vigilante-style gun attack in Barangay Tambacan here late last week.
Senior Insp. James Daleon of the Tubod police station said the victim, Police Officer Wahab Racman, was on his way home to Purok 5, Tambacan, when he was shot by the assailants at around 11 am on Thursday.
The officer was shot four times to the head and chest by two men who wore black jackets and black helmets, and who rode a motorcycle with no license plate.
The 39-year-old Racman was a member of the the Iligan police’s mobile company.
Daleon said Racman had managed to run off and avoid being shot during the first wave of gunshots but the gunmen chased him.
The killers then took the motorcycle and fled.
Racman was rushed to the Mercy Hospital by responding officers where he was declared dead at around 12:20 pm.
Daleon said investigators were thoroughly examining a cellphone, six spent cartridges and a spent bullet found at the crime scene in the hope of finding clues.
